Inactive Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka - Deadbeat (emphasis on "Dead") founder of Something Awful, forced out of his own community, on his second divorce, stuck his dick in crazy, "Birth Giver"

you're absolutely not wrong. Looking back on how a lot of us wound up leaving SA in the 00s I can safely say that we left because we were over it, done with being 20 something manchildren and started to take our lives seriously. With that came a lack of love for the kind of irreverence that a place like SA prided itself on. I'll always remember how funny Lowtax and the other writers were.
I joined SA in the mid 00s and stopped posting around 2012. The mods became god awful and would ban you for any little thing. Got fed up with the forum and haven’t really thought of that site until Lowtax committed Harry Carry. The world is better off without him.
 
Don't forget LOAD BEARING SLURS

For Community Events tourists:
Something awful used a lot of no-no words, like the Fag-slur, the Faggot-slur, the retard-slut, the nigger-word, the rape-word, and a bunch of other things that woud get you banned from twitch in the code and landing pages
They were used for variable definitions and important site functions and early attempts to remove them caused the site to break.
that's some incredible coding there can't make this shit up. The code keeps referencing slurs because that's all the coder could think of to name different things.

Lowtax really had to dedicate a sentence to his dog being okay and fed in his suicide note so he didn't get cancelled for animal abuse on top of being a deadbeat...
Yeah he put the dog out with water, he's a real Sylvia Plath.
Sylvia Plath famously killed herself in her home with her two kids by inhaling gas from the oven, but on the night of her suicide she used a bunch of masking tape, clingfilm and towels to block off all cracks under the doorways between the kitchen and the children's bedroom to protect them until they were found. Both kids survived.
 
so did momtax and dadtaxe take revenge on Dana Outlaw and Judge Stupid Fucking Lazy Ass Garrett?
Momtax dropped dead 3 months after her son* and Dadtax cared so little about his son's legal dramas that didn't even get Richard's wife's name right in the police report so I really doubt it.

*Rich made Momtax come over to his house to do his laundry even though she was dying of leukemia. He was as good a son as he was a father.

Momtax tried, but she died of the cancer she was in treatment for (read: slowly dying from) for only a couple months after Lowtax doomhoused himself.

Her incredible vitrol and animosity to Lady Ambien and the Judge / Ms. Outlaw make a lot more sense in the context of Lowtax's note.
Thanks to his selfish actions instead of dying with her beloved son nearby, or even being able to focus on making the most of her approaching end and peace with her life, instead her final days werent spent in a fury of sadness and rage, attempting revenge against two people who only did their jobs. The fact Lowtax felt these two people were "out to get him" is only because of how worthless he was as a human being.

Dadtax I think is too old and lacks the mental faculties to take revenge even if he would be inclined to do so.

You could also try actually being a parent to your children
Fuck that shit. What are you, some sort of gooftroop?
 
Imagine killing yourself when you still have enemies.
Imagine killing yourself and you don't have a single friend to speak for you. Even fragmaster could barely bring himself to say anything actually nice about him, and he was probably the closest to mourning him.

To be fair, Dana Outlaw was an utter savage who completely curbstomped him to the point even I almost felt sorry for him.
 
He did sell it, for $450,000, about 18 months before he an-heroed, to one of the site's mods who was a crypto bro. He deliberately spent $200,000 of it on tranny hookers and gatcha games so that he wouldn't have to pay it to his ex-wife; the rest was frozen by order of the court to stop him spending any more (and to make him pay Dana Outlaw, the Guardian ad Litem who he also owed over $50,000) . That's the $200,000 he's kvetching about, because he big-brained thought that if he spent it all the judge wouldn't ask him to come up with it. There's plenty of precedent for deadbeat ex-husbands having to come up with money they tried to spend away (something that came up in this thread at the time), and his lawyer would have told him that, telling him to stop spending, but Lowtax knew better of course. That's probably why he's complaining about his lawyer yelling at him, he was probably trying to explain to Lowtax how stupid he was being.
should've used monero
 
I watched the person stream on this guy and still don't get the vitriol hatred he gets. Seemed to me like he was just an ordinary guy that couldn't handle his initial success. What's he done that was so outrageous you can dance on his grave without some kind of bad conscience?
He fathered several children and then committed suicide.

People who do that don’t even deserve a burial.
 
lol what? This is not something that happens. A psychiatrist does not see a patient with high blood pressure and go "you need to leave". Was this maybe referencing that he refused to fill his Adderall which can raise blood pressure and the cop who wrote this didn't understand? I have never once heard of a psychiatrist refusing treatment because of high blood pressure. They are doctors and there to treat illness.

That's fucked up. The psychiatrist could have given 0.2mg clonidine, even if just for anxiety, to reduce the BP.

If it’s on-hand, if the psych has a license to dispense, if the patient is willing and able to take the medication…

It’s not always that easy. Especially when your patient is a cunt.
 
Can I just say too what a boring and mediocre suicide note? "I left food for the dog blah blah the court and women are after me!" fucking boring nigga.
This issue has been occupying my life for decades now. How to make the note sound wise but not pretentious, funny but not flippant, thankful but not effusive... maybe the secret is to make the difficulty of making the perfect suicide note the topic of the suicide note, without being whiny about it.
Really, it's a bigger problem than it seems. Imagine being such a loser that you fuck up the suicide note. This is no small affair.
 
PS: please simply remember me by doing absolutely everything possible to ruin the careers of Dana Outlaw and Judge
Stupid Fucking Lazy Ass Garrett. Also let Scott know the absolute only service he provided to me was yelling at me,
and yelling at me to pay him more.
God, what a bitter, vindictive cunt. I think he's one of the only lolcows I don’t feel pity for, only disgust. Well, after that McNutt guy.
I wish I could've been strong enough. Or less trusting enough.
Yeah, if there's one thing Lowtax was known for, it was being too trusting. Which is why he kept his wives under his thumb.
Mentions his dad and sister directly but the mother who would wash his dirty crapped briefs and harass his ex wifes only gets lumped with the rest of the family? Nor a mention of his daughter? As much as in for want to feel pity for LowTax even in his final moments he made it really difficult to do so.
Yeah, I don’t feel bad. Not a single mention of his daughters. What an asshole.
Cleaning reeking week old brains and hair and gore off shower tile while a justifiably hysterical parent of a suicide wailed her soul out a few rooms over but unsilenced by the various walls (and was honestly never the same/right again up until the day she died of old age) severely blackpilled me on having ANY pity for suicides.
Jesus, I'm sorry.
Not a single word to his children.
Not a "I love you" or "I'm sorry" or fucking anything for them.
Just fucking wow.
Father of the fucking century right here.
Rest in piss scumbag.
Disgusting.
Yeah he put the dog out with water, he's a real Sylvia Plath.
Lol. I loved Sylvia.
(Nice Look Outside avatar, Hellen is my favorite.)
 
Was Lowtax really an "industry pioneer" or just make the right choice at the right time? He (and by extension, SA) peaked when he married his first wife in 2005 and after that it was straight down the tubes.

He definitely was. SA was pretty much the center of internet culture for a few years.

It's nuts he didn't get mega rich off of that and became an absentee landlord of his own site mostly because he's lazy and they didn't suck his balls hard enough.

From a forensic perspective, suicide notes are usually short, practical and to the point. Only cluster B trannies planning to fail to kill themselves write 17 page purple prose screeds about the angst and turmoil of their oh so pathetic lives. When you've actually made the decision to go through with it all you can really think about is "The door's unlocked. Please feed my cat. I hope the mess won't disturb anyone. Here's my bank account info."
